ABSTRACT 

Dovetail Cultural Resource Group (Dovetail), on behalf of the Virginia Department of Rail and 

Public Transportation (DRPT), conducted a reconnaissance-level architectural survey of the 

North Doswell to Elmont (NDEL) segment of the Washington, D.C. to Richmond Southeast 

High Speed Rail (DC2RVA) project. The proposed Project is being completed under the 

auspices of the Federal Rail Administration (FRA) in conjunction with DRPT. Because of FRA’s 

involvement, the undertaking is required to comply with the National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. The 

project is being completed as Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) File Review 

#2014-0666. 

The DC2RVA corridor is divided into 22 segments and this document focuses on the NDEL 

segment only. This report includes background data that will place each recorded resource 

within context and the results of fieldwork and National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) 

evaluations for all architectural resources identified in the NDEL segment only. All other 

segments will be discussed in separate reports. For the purposes of the current report, the 

architectural area of potential effects (APE) is defined as extending 500 feet on either side of the 

center of the existing railroad alignment except in urban areas, where the APE is limited to one 

city block to either side of the existing rail centerline, plus any areas where alterations to a 

resource’s setting and feeling are likely to occur as a result of the Project. This report details the 

findings of buildings, objects, and districts over 48 years of age within the APE (the age limit 

was developed to correspond with the 2017 DC2RVA study completion date). All structures 

that meet the NRHP 50-year age criterion within the architectural APE of the DC2RVA corridor 

will be included in a subsequent report spanning the entire 123-mile corridor. The results of the 

archaeological survey are also discussed in separate reports. 

In total, the DC2RVA Project Team surveyed 264 historic architectural resources within the 

architectural APE of the NDEL segment, 142 of which were previously recorded and 122 were 

newly recorded historic resources. Of the 142 previously recorded resources surveyed, six are

individually listed in the NRHP or have been previously determined eligible or potentially 

eligible for listing by DHR Staff, including one Civil-War-era earthworks (042-0836) and five 

historic districts: Ashland Historic District (166-0001); Randolph-Macon College Complex 

Historic District (166-0002); Elmont Historic District (042-5048); the Taylorsville Road Historic 

District (042-5307); and Doswell Historic District (042-5448). It is recommended that these 

resources retain their eligibility. Another 14 previously recorded resources are recommended 

potentially eligible for the NRHP following this survey. 

The remaining 122 previously recorded properties are recommended not eligible for 

individual listing in the NRHP under any criteria; however, the DC2RVA Team recommends 

that 81 of these are contributing resources to one of the five previously recorded historic 

districts. One previously recorded property is recommended as a contributing resource to a 
TABLE OF CONTENTS 

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail ii Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, NDEL Segment 

newly recorded historic district. Another 41 of these 122 properties are either not associated 

with a historic district or were found to be non-contributing resources. 

Of the 122 resources newly recorded during this investigation, four are recommended for 

further study. The Priddy House (166-5041), Berkleytown Historic District (166-5073), Dabney 

Funeral Home (166-5073-0010), and the Randolph-Macon College Historic District Expansion 

(166-5072) are all recommended potentially eligible for the NRHP. The DC2RVA Team 

recommends that the remaining 118 newly recorded resources are not individually eligible for 

the NRHP under any criteria. However, 25 of these individually ineligible resources were 

found to be contributing elements to one of the potentially eligible, eligible, or NRHP-listed 

historic districts in the project APE.

INTRODUCTION 

Dovetail Cultural Resource Group (Dovetail), on behalf of the Virginia Department of Rail and 

Public Transportation (DRPT), conducted a reconnaissance-level architectural survey of the 

North Doswell to Elmont (NDEL) segment of the Washington, D.C. to Richmond High Speed 

Rail (DC2RVA) project. In addition to the reconnaissance-level survey, this project includes a 

background review and historic context for the NDEL segment. The project is being completed 

as Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) File #2014-0666. 

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and DRPT propose passenger rail service and rail 

infrastructure improvements in the north-south travel corridor between Washington, D.C. and 

Richmond, VA. These passenger rail service and rail infrastructure improvements are 

collectively known as the DC2RVA project. The Project will deliver higher speed passenger rail 

service, increase passenger and freight rail capacity, and improve passenger rail service 

frequency and reliability in a corridor shared by growing volumes of passenger, commuter, and 

freight rail traffic, thereby providing a competitive option for travelers going between 

Washington, D.C. and Richmond and those traveling to and from adjacent connecting corridors. 

The Project is part of the larger Southeast High Speed Rail (SEHSR) corridor (Figure 1-1), which 

extends from Washington, D.C. through Richmond, VA, and from Richmond continues east to 

Hampton Roads (Norfolk), VA and south to Raleigh, NC, and Charlotte, NC, and then 

continues west to Atlanta and south to Florida. The Project connects to the National Railroad 

Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) Northeast Corridor (NEC) at Union Station in Washington, 

D.C. 

The purpose of the SEHSR program, as stated in the 2002 Tier I Final Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) completed for the full SEHSR corridor, is to provide a competitive 

transportation choice to travelers within the Washington, D.C. to Charlotte travel corridor. The 

purpose of the current Washington, D.C. to Richmond SEHSR project described here is to fulfill 

the purpose of the SEHSR Tier I EIS within this segment of the larger SEHSR corridor. The 

Project, by increasing rail capacity and improving travel times between Washington, D.C. and 

Richmond, will improve passenger train performance and reliability in the corridor, enabling 

intercity passenger rail to be a competitive transportation choice for travelers between 

Washington, D.C. and Richmond and beyond. 

Given FRA’s funding involvement and permitting through various other federal agencies, the 

DC2RVA project is required to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation 

Act of 1966, as amended, and its implementing regulations under 36CFR800. Additionally, all 

cultural resource work was designed to comply with the Virginia Antiquities Act (Code of 

Virginia § 10.1-2300) and guidelines and regulations promulgated by the DHR as necessary.

INTRODUCTION 

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 1-3 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, NDEL Segment 

1.1 PROJECT LOCATION 

The Washington, D.C. to Richmond corridor spans 123 miles along an existing rail corridor 

owned by CSX Transportation (CSXT) between Control Point RO (milepost [MP] CFP 110) in 

Arlington, VA to the CSXT A-Line and S-Line junction at MP A-11 in Centralia, VA 

(Chesterfield County) (Figure 1-2). For the purposes of engineering and environmental 

planning, the DC2RVA corridor has been subdivided into 20 segments that correspond with 

improvements and alternatives, and as such have been named and numbered from north to 

south (Figure 1-3). At the northern terminus in Arlington, VA, the Project limit ends at the 

southern approach to Long Bridge, a double-track rail bridge taking the rail corridor over the 

Potomac River; however, the northern terminus of Union Station in Washington, D.C. will be 

used for ridership and revenue forecasting, as well as service development planning within the 

Project corridor. The southern terminus in Centralia is the junction of two CSXT routes that 

begin in Richmond and rejoin approximately 11 miles south of the city. 

Additional segments of the Project include approximately 8.3 miles of the CSXT Peninsula 

Subdivision CA-Line from Beulah Road (MP CA-76.1) in Henrico County, VA to AM Junction 

in the City of Richmond, and the approximately 26-mile Buckingham Branch Railroad (BBR) 

from AM Junction to the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Railway (RF&P) Crossing (MP 

CA-111.8) in Doswell, VA. 

Proposed improvements are along CSXT-owned track, generally parallel to the I-95 corridor 

between northern Virginia and Richmond. From north to south, the project travels through the 

following counties and cities: 

 Arlington County 

 City of Alexandria 

 Fairfax County 

 Prince William County 

 Stafford County 

 City of Fredericksburg 

 Spotsylvania County 

 Caroline County 

 Hanover County 

 Henrico County 

 City of Richmond 

 Chesterfield County 

In Arlington, the Project connects to existing CSXT track extending across the Potomac River on 

the Long Bridge into Washington, D.C. and Union Station, the southern terminus of Amtrak’s 

Northeast Corridor (NEC). At Centralia, the Project connects to both the Richmond to Raleigh 

segment of the SEHSR corridor and the Richmond to Hampton Roads segment of the SEHSR 

corridor.

INTRODUCTION 

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 1-6 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, NDEL Segment 

The Washington, D.C. to Richmond segment is an integral part of the overall 

Washington, D.C. to Charlotte SEHSR corridor and provides a critical link between high speed 

intercity passenger service from Boston to Washington, D.C. and the southeastern United States. 

1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 

The DC2RVA project will include specific rail infrastructure improvements and service 

upgrades intended to improve the travel time, service frequency, and on-time performance of 

passenger trains operating between Washington, D.C. and Richmond, VA. Specific 

improvements to the existing rail infrastructure between Arlington, VA, and Centralia, VA 

include: 

 Corridor-wide upgrades to existing track and signal systems to achieve higher operating 

speeds, including curve realignments, higher-speed crossovers between tracks, passing 

sidings, and grade crossing improvements. 

 Corridor-wide improvements to train operating capacity to achieve higher passenger 

train service frequency and reliability, including an additional main track along most of 

the corridor, and additional controlled sidings, crossovers, yard bypasses and leads, and 

other capacity and reliability improvements at certain locations. 

 Station and platform improvements for Amtrak and Virginia Railway Express (VRE) 

stations. 

The Tier II EIS being completed for the Project will assess the environmental impacts of these 

improvements and identify ways to avoid, minimize, or otherwise mitigate such impacts. 

The Project may include locations for new or replacement intercity passenger stations on the 

Project corridor, and additional rail capacity and other improvements in the Richmond area, 

including on the CSXT Peninsula Subdivision from AM Junction in Richmond, VA (just north of 

Main Street Station) east to Beulah Road in Henrico County, and on the Buckingham Branch 

Railroad from Doswell, VA south to AM Junction. 

Studies in support of the Project will address passenger and freight rail operations and service 

between Union Station in Washington, D.C. and Richmond and beyond, but the Project does 

not include physical improvements to the Long Bridge across the Potomac River or to rail 

infrastructure within Washington, D.C. Other projects will address improvements to the rail 

infrastructure north of Arlington and south of Centralia along the SEHSR corridor. 

1.3 CURRENT STUDY 

The current study included a reconnaissance architectural survey of the NDEL segment of the 

DC2RVA corridor (See Figure 1-3). The architectural survey was conducted to evaluate both 

previously recorded properties that have not been evaluated for the National Register of 

Historic Places (NRHP), as well as any unrecorded resource over 48 years in age (the age limit 

was developed to correspond to the 2017 DC2RVA study completion date). Any property in the 

area of potential effects (APE) that has been previously determined to be eligible, or is listed in, 

the NRHP was briefly reviewed to assure that the characteristics that rendered the property 

eligible are still intact. For the purposes of the current report, the architectural APE is defined as 

extending 500 feet on either side of the centerline of the existing railroad alignment, except in 
INTRODUCTION 

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 1-7 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, NDEL Segment 

urban areas, where the APE is limited to one city block to either side of the existing rail 

centerline, plus any areas where alterations to a resource’s setting and feeling are likely to occur 

as a result of the Project. All structures that meet the NRHP age criteria within the architectural 

APE of the DC2RVA corridor are included in a separate report spanning the entire 123-mile 

corridor (Chase 2016). In addition, the results of the archaeological survey are discussed in 

separate documents. 

Each resource was evaluated in regards to NRHP Criterion A, for its association with events 

that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; Criterion B, for its 

association with people significant in our nation’s history; Criterion C, for its embodiment of 

distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the 

work of a master, or possess high artistic values. As part of the current survey, these 

architectural resources were not evaluated under Criterion D for its potential to yield 

information important in history. Criteria considerations were taken into account only where 

necessary. 

The area within the Project APE was first reviewed through an architectural and historical 

background literature and records search at DHR. The APE was then visually inspected 

through a vehicular and pedestrian reconnaissance to identify buildings, objects, and districts 

over 48 years in age where a NRHP determination had not been made. Once identified, each 

resource was evaluated for architectural significance and historic and physical integrity. The 

resources were documented through written notes and digital photographs. The information 

obtained during the survey was then used to update or generate a new DHR Virginia Cultural 

Resource Information System (V-CRIS) form and to make recommendations on each resource’s 

NRHP potential.

HISTORIC CONTEXT 

As part of this undertaking, a historic context of each municipality within the APE was 

compiled. The NDEL segment spans through Hanover County. Because this report discusses 

the architectural component of this project, only the historic period for is included below. The 

prehistoric context for this area will appear in subsequent archaeological reports. 

2.1 HANOVER COUNTY 

Prior to its creation in 1720, the land that now constitutes Hanover County was inhabited by the 

Powhatan Confederacy. This nation of nearly 10,000 Native Americans populated the land 

upon English settler’s first explorations (Hanover County Historical Society 2016a). Early on the 

Powhatan Confederacy’s tribes and the English became trade allies, even exchanging youths in 

order to learn each other’s languages to facilitate trade (Degen 2016). However, relationships 

quickly became strained and eventually turned hostile. 

Captain John Smith led at least three exploratory missions between 1607 and 1609 from 

Jamestown into the northern and western lands surrounding the settlement. He encountered 

Native Americans during these missions and was even held captive by the Youngtamund tribe 

of present-day Hanover County. Captain John Smith’s legendary capture, which eventually led 

to an escape with the help of Chief Powhatan’s daughter, Pocahontas, occurred in Hanover 

County on these explorations (Hanover County Economic Development [HCED] 2016a). 

2.3.1 Anglo Settlement and the Establishment of Hanover County 

Population in the Virginia Colony increased greatly after the founding of the Jamestown 

settlement in 1607. By 1634, the Virginia Colony contained roughly 5,000 colonists (Grymes 

2014). Population increase created a need for more localized governing bodies than the existing 

House of Burgesses which, at the time, was ruling over the entire colony under British control. 

In 1634, the House of Burgesses approved the creation of eight shires to handle local disputes 

and responsibilities: Henrico, Charles City, James City, Elizabeth City, Accomack, Charles 

River, Warrosquyoake, and Warwick River (Grymes 2014). The area that is now Hanover 

County lay within the Charles River Shire until it was renamed York Shire in 1634 (Hanover 

County Historical Society 2016). 

Much of the Virginia Colony was also divided into parishes whose boundary lines sometimes 

coincided with the shire, or county, lines. These parishes, maintained under the Anglican 

Church’s Diocese of London, were an authority on social and civil matters. Parishes served the 

surrounding community, but “once the church site became too distant for families to attend 

services, a new parish with a church was formed” (Hanover County Historical Society 2016a). 

St. Peter’s Parish encompassed the upper part of York County, later established as New Kent 

County, and in 1704 became St. Paul’s Parish (Hanover County Historical Society 2016).

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 2-2 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, NDEL Segment 

On November 26, 1720, Hanover County was formed along the same boundary lines as St. 

Paul’s Parish (Hanover County Historical Society 2016). Hanover County received its name to 

honor King George I, the first British monarch from the House of Hanover, who ruled the 

colonies at the time of its creation. 

The young county experienced some small developments in its early years. Tobacco production, 

particularly of the Sweet Oronoco strain, was the major economic mainstay throughout the 

eighteenth century (Keller 1990:6). The port towns of Newcastle and Hanovertown were 

established in 1730 and 1747, respectively, in order to provide a “central base from which 

tobacco could be shipped to Glasgow and London and traded for other goods” (Keller 1990:45). 

These towns flourished due to their accessible locations and Newcastle was even considered a 

contender for the relocation of the colonial capital after the capitol building in Williamsburg 

burned in 1747 (Keller 1990:45). 

2.3.2 Early Industries and the Revolutionary War 

Hanover County increased steadily in population following its 1720 founding as farmers moved 

westward from the tidewater region in search of more fertile land. It emerged as center for 

commerce and trade, particularly for the tobacco industry (HCED 2016b). 

Hanover County’s early years are largely associated with the Great Awakening movement, a 

series of religious revivals that led to the disestablishment of the Church of England in the 

colonies. Around 1740, a small group of evangelical Anglicans led by Samuel Morris began 

meeting privately in Hanover County to discuss the religious revivals occurring in the northern 

colonies led by Reverend George Whitefield (Kidd 2013). By 1745, Lieutenant Governor Sir 

William Gooch was calling for the suppression of these evangelical revival groups due to their 

threat to the stability of the colony. As a new Baptists movement spread from New England to 

the Virginia Colony in the 1770s, an era of religious persecution began. The Virginia Gazette of 

Williamsburg claimed that, because of the Baptists, “wives are drawn from their Husbands, 

Children from their Parents, and Slaves from the Obedience of their Masters. Thus the very 

Heartstrings of those little Societies which form the greater are torn in sunder, and all their 

Peace destroyed” (Kidd 2013). With the introduction of Methodist practices in the mid to late 

1770s to the already strained religious landscape, tensions grew. 

This religious friction helped to catalyze the movement for religious liberty within the colony. 

James Madison and Patrick Henry, who was from Hanover County and grew up attending the 

evangelical Presbyterian meetings, helped to draft the 16th article of the Virginia Declaration of 

Rights in 1776 which assured free exercise of religion (Kidd 2013). In the 1780s, Madison backed 

a bill drafted by Thomas Jefferson calling for religious freedom with no state support to 

religion, a direct opposition to Henry’s idea: a tax to benefit the church of the tax-payer’s 

choosing. Jefferson’s Bill of Establishing Religious Freedom was passed in 1786 and became the 

foundation for the First Amendment of the United States Constitution during the early years of 

the Nation (Kidd 2013). 

Tensions between the colonies and the British Crown can be seen early on in Hanover County. 

At the Hanover Courthouse in December 1763, Patrick Henry argued the case, now known as 

“The Parsons’ Cause,” in which he maintained that the King was behaving as a tyrant by 

interfering with a law passed by the House of Burgesses (HCED 2016a). Inspired by their fellow 

patriots, such as Patrick Henry, Hanover County men joined the American Revolution to fight 
HISTORIC CONTEXT 

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 2-3 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, NDEL Segment 

British rule. The 5th Virginia Regiment and the 14th Virginia Regiment both contained soldiers 

supplied from Hanover County (FamilySearch.org 2016). Hanover County was spared many of 

the battles and skirmishes of the American Revolution, though George Washington did pass 

through the county on his return from the Battle of Yorktown at the end of the War (HCED 

2016b). 

2.3.3 The Antebellum Years 

Following the American Revolution, Hanover County grew in popularity amongst farmers. 

Population increased steadily throughout the early formation of the nation. Census information 

indicates a population of 14,754 in 1790, 15,082 in 1810, and 16,253 in 1840 (United States Census 

of Population and Housing 2004). After the burning of the capital building in Williamsburg in 

1747, the port town of Newcastle was considered as a potential location for a new state capital; 

it only lost by a handful of votes to Richmond (Keller 1990:45). 

Tobacco farming, which had peaked prior to the American Revolution, began to decline as more 

viable crops entered the agricultural landscape, such as wheat and corn (Keller 1990:6). 

Following the American Revolution, trade of tobacco to Glasgow and London, which had been 

so important to the economies of Newcastle and Hanovertown, dwindled. This loss of foreign 

trade, as well as the creation of new channels of commerce in other parts of the county, led to 

the abandonment of the towns. By the middle of the nineteenth century both towns had all but 

disappeared (Keller 1990:45). 

These new channels of commerce came in the form of a fairly complex network of roads. The 

development of this network allowed for easier access of people and products both into and out 

of the county (Keller 1990:11). 

By the middle of the nineteenth century, a well-constructed network of roads allowed for a 

booming economy. This economy was further aided with the introduction of railroad systems 

in Hanover County. The introduction of railway systems to Hanover County in the 1830s led to 

greater accessibility for both producers and buyers of products. The small villages of Doswell, 

Beaverdam, and Hanover Courthouse all became railroad junctions and experienced quick 

economic growth (Keller 1990:11). The railroad systems, in turn, created new locales as 

communities grew surrounding important railroad intersections and stops. The town of 

Ashland was established in the late 1840s as a mineral springs resort and grew rapidly (Town of 

Ashland 2016). 

The economy relied heavily on slave-based agriculture, though other industries contributed to 

the growing county. Both grist mills and flour mills were constructed along the Pamunkey and 

Chickahominy Rivers (Keller 1990:37). 

Education of youth in the county, which had traditionally rested on the parents’ shoulders, 

experienced changes throughout the early- and middle-nineteenth century. A “free school” 

system was established in the county in an effort to better the education of young, white males. 

These schools were based on a general state fund, though they heavily relied on wealthy 

landowner contributions, and eventually failed (Keller 1990:29). Public education in Hanover 

County would not be established until after the Civil War. 
HISTORIC CONTEXT

2.3.4 The Civil War in Hanover County 

Many Hanover men served in the Civil War. In fact, three companies were formed in the 

county: the Patrick Henry Rifles, the Hanover Grays, and the Ashland Grays (Keller 1990:26). 

Apart from its contribution to the Confederate army, Hanover was also important to the Civil 

War due to its close proximity to Richmond. Control of the extensive road and railway systems 

was heavily sought after by the Union Army. The two railroads, the Virginia Central Railroad 

and the RF&P Railroad, were vital in transporting supplies and troops (HCED 2016b). Village 

communities, river crossings, and bridges along these railroad lines were frequently traversed 

and fortified by Confederate soldiers looking to protect this valuable asset. 

The 1862 Seven Days Campaign saw major action in Hanover County. On June 26, 1862, 

General Robert E. Lee initiated this campaign by crossing the Chickahominy River and striking 

Union troops behind Beaver Dam Creek. Confederate troops suffered five times the casualties 

of the Union troops; however, it was the Federals who abandoned their positions during the 

night to retreat eastward (HCED 2016b). The following day, the largest battle of the Seven Days 

Campaign occurred as Lee’s troops repeatedly assaulted the Union forces at Gaines’ Mill. Here 

both troops lost a combined 15,000 men (HCED 2016b). 

Hanover County continued to see destruction and skirmishes throughout the war, but it was 

not until 1864 that more major battles would occur. In late May 1864, nearly 130,000 Union and 

Confederate troops occupied land along the North Anna River. On May 27th, the troops began 

their march towards Cold Harbor. Union troops passed through the community of Old Church 

on their way to Cold Harbor, and the tavern there served as a Union cavalry corps 

headquarters. On May 28th, forces “clashed around Enon Church in one of the fiercest cavalry 

battles of the Civil War” known as Haw’s Shop Battle (HCED 2016a). The culmination of these 

battles and troop movements was the Battle of Cold Harbor on May 31, 1864. Thousands of 

troops fought along a 7-mile stretch until June 12th, with neither side victorious. At this point 

General Ulysses S. Grant moved his men secretly away from the battle towards Petersburg 

(HCED 2016a). 

In addition to the battlefields and headquarters sites, a number of places in the county were 

converted for soldier dwellings and hospitals during the war. Hanover County’s economy was 

greatly affected by the Civil War. Its agricultural economy relied heavily on slave populations 

prior to the war. Both the white and black populations struggled to adapt to the new economy. 

Once wealthy slaveholders were rendered bankrupt with Confederate currency suddenly 

worthless, and land values plummeted. 

During the war, the town of Ashland was frequently occupied by troops. he local racecourse 

served as a training field for Confederate troops and many prominent buildings were converted 

into hospitals and quarters. After the conflict, the town’s resort entered into financial trouble 

and was sold in 1868 to Randolph-Macon College, an all-male Methodist college then situated 

in Boydton, Virginia (Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission [VHLC] 1982). 

2.3.5 Into the Twentieth Century 

Slowly, the economy began to rebuild leading up to and through the turn of the century. 

Tobacco production had been almost completely replaced by wheat and corn production; in 

fact, the Bureau of the Census reports from 1880 show that Hanover County was harvesting 

“only 1,489 acres of tobacco as compared to 13,146 acres of wheat” (Keller 1990:6). Grain mills 
HISTORIC CONTEXT 

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 2-5 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, NDEL Segment 

throughout the county remain in the present day as evidence of the crops growing in popularity 

amongst farmers. Larger mills were constructed along the surrounding Pamunkey and 

Chickahominy Rivers to support the growing wheat and corn industries. The rivers also served 

an ever-increasing number of sawmills. Three excelsior mills were also established in Hanover 

County in the first decades of the twentieth century (Keller 1990:28). Farming of both melons 

and tomatoes as new agricultural crops began in the twentieth century as well (Keller 1990:8). 

Public education for children was established in Hanover County in 1869 allowing for widespread education of youth throughout the county (Keller 1990:30). Higher education, though 

still greatly limited amongst the United States, was developing. The relocation of RandolphMacon College to Ashland in the late 1860s and construction of new buildings on campus in the 

1870s and 80s fueled economic growth in town and facilitated better educational opportunities 

throughout Hanover County (VHLC 1982). As the economy was rebuilt and strengthened, 

Hanover County’s population increased substantially. Though it had dipped to 16,455 in 1870, 

the county population increased to 18,588 by 1880 (United States Census of Population and 

Housing 2004). 

Economic growth in the town of Ashland gave rise to a significant building boom in the last 

quarter of the twentieth century. By 1890, the population in town was six times that of 1860 

(VHLC 1982). The community continued to thrive with support of the railroad, functioning as a 

resting place for many travelers between Washington, D.C. and Richmond, with much activity 

taking place at the Georgian-Revival-styled Henry Clay hotel that was constructed in 1906 

(VHLC 1982). 

2.3.6 World War I to World War II (1917–1945) 

The development of the Route 1 Highway through Hanover County in the first half of the 

twentieth century led to huge growth. Route 1 brought tourists, businessmen, and passersby 

through the county and served as an easy access route between Richmond to the south and 

Washington, D.C. to the north. It also facilitated the development and repair of surrounding 

roads in order to transport both goods and people from the rural areas of the county towards 

Route 1. 

In the years after World War I, the town of Ashland experienced another building boom as 

improvements were made to the local water facilities, new houses constructed, a tobacco 

warehouse built near the edge of town, and a new fairgrounds laid out. Prominent brick 

buildings were also constructed downtown at this time, including the extant train depot, the 

Hanover National Bank, and several church buildings (VHLC 1982). 

2.3.7 The New Dominion to Present 

Just as Route 1 facilitated growth throughout the county, so did the development of Interstate 

Highway 95 (I-95). Post-World War II, Hanover County grew in population due to booming 

businesses and increased transportation. The population grew from 18,500 in 1940 to nearly 

22,000 in 1950 and then to 27,550 by 1960 (United States Census of Population and Housing 

2004). The area population has continued to grow into the last decades of the twentieth century, 

counting more than 63,300 residents in Hanover County in the 1990 Population Census and 

rising to more than 101,000 people in 2013 estimates (HECD 2016c). 
HISTORIC CONTEXT 

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 2-6 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, NDEL Segment 

Agriculture continued to drive much of the county’s economy in this period. Although the 

number of farms in the county decreased by more than 50 percent between 1910 and 1960, the 

number of harvested acres did not decrease by a significant margin (Keller 1990:8). This pattern 

reflects a larger nationwide trend of farm consolidation and increased farm production brought 

on by widespread mechanization on American farms following World War II. This increased 

mechanization and production encourage the rise of commercial and industrial-scale farming 

into the third quarter of the twentieth century in Hanover County and, consequently, the 

decline of smaller family farms. “By 1979 there were only 630 working farms in the county, 

nearly a forty percent decrease in twenty years; total harvest acres remained fairly constant” 

(Keller 1990:9). As of 2012, the number of farms in Hanover County has fallen to 600 with an 

average size of 157 acres (United States Department of Agriculture [USDA] 2012). The value of 

crops, including nursery and greenhouse plants, made up more than 85 percent of the 

agricultural products sold in 2012 (USDA 2012). 

While agriculture still plays a large role in the county’s economy, the expansion of tourist 

ventures has brought a substantial number of new businesses and residents. The creation of 

Kings Dominion amusement park near Doswell in 1975 played a key role in the county’s recent 

development. It currently employs over 1,000 employees, making it one of the lead employers 

in Hanover County (HCED 2016b). Today, the Hanover County Economic Development Office 

promotes the area’s proximity to the City of Richmond and the interstate highways, rail lines, 

and waterways that surround it as conducive to a strong industrial and business climate in their 

community. 
D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 3-1 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, NDEL Segment 

METHODOLOGY 

The architectural survey was conducted to evaluate any historic buildings, objects, or districts 

over 48 years in age for NRHP eligibility. Each resource was evaluated in regards to Criterion 

A, for its association with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns 

of our history; Criterion B, for its association with people significant in our nation’s history; and 

Criterion C, for its embodiment of distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of 

construction, or that represent the work of a master, or possess high artistic values. As part of 

the current survey, these architectural resources were not evaluated under Criterion D for its 

potential to yield information important in history. Criteria considerations were taken into 

account only where necessary. 

A background literature and records review of the APE at the DHR was conducted prior to any 

fieldwork. This included an inspection of previous cultural resource surveys within the 

architectural APE and the notation of previously recorded architectural properties both within 

the APE and within a 0.5-mile radius of the APE to establish an area resource context. 

Once the background review was complete, field recordation commenced. For previously 

recorded resources that were previously determined eligible for or listed in the NRHP within 

the architectural APE, the DC2RVA team briefly examined these properties to assure that they 

retain the characteristics that rendered them eligible for the NRHP, but in-depth studies were 

not completed on these resources. 

During the architectural survey of both newly recorded and previously identified resources, the 

project’s architectural APE was surveyed through a combination of a vehicular and pedestrian 

reconnaissance. Above-ground properties meeting the age criteria of the NRHP were 

documented through photographs, written notes, and mapping. This includes buildings, 

objects, and districts that are within the project boundaries and in the viewshed of the project 

area. Digital photos will be taken of each property documenting the primary elevation, oblique 

angles, and general setting. 

After the architectural field project was completed, the project team prepared separate V-CRIS 

forms and accompanying documentation for each recorded property in accordance with DHR 

policies and practices. Each V-CRIS packet includes a V-CRIS form, site plan, set of hard-copy 

black & white photographs, and a CD of digital photos for each property. The hard copy and 

electronic versions of the photographs were labeled and prepared according to DHR standards.

BACKGROUND REVIEW 

Prior to conducting fieldwork, Dovetail conducted a background review of the DC2RVAproject 

area to identify previously recorded above-ground resources within a 0.5-mile radius around 

the APE. This task included an evaluation of DHR files, maps, and reports and Civil War Sites 

Advisory Committee (CWSAC) maps to obtain the required information. The goal was to 

provide data on previously recorded resources to aid in the evaluation of properties identified 

during the current survey. 

4.1 PREVIOUS SURVEYS 

To date, 39 historic properties in Hanover County have been listed in the NRHP, at least four of 

which are historic districts. A few of these historic districts were surveyed and nominated in the 

1970s and early 1980s, including two within the town of Ashland: the Ashland Historic District 

(166-0001) and the Randolph-Macon College Complex (166-0002). 

In 1988, DHR awarded a matching grant to the Hanover County Board of Supervisors for a 

reconnaissance-level survey of Hanover County’s historic resources conducted by Land and 

Community Associates (Neville et al. 1990). This grant was specifically for the documentation 

and evaluation of 450 historic architectural resources located in Hanover County. A second 

phase of survey commenced in June 1991 to document an additional 400 architectural resources 

(Neville et al. 1992). A combined report detailed the results of the Phase I survey for 950 

properties, specifying exemplary and representative examples of several types of historic 

resources that existed in the county. Eligibility recommendations were made for all of the 

properties surveyed during this effort and of the 950 total, approximately 155 resources were 

recommended as potentially eligible for listing in the NRHP. 

Ashley Neville and Brenda Pennington completed an architectural survey of approximately 

72,897 acres in western Hanover County in 2015 (Neville and Pennington 2012). Seventy-nine 

properties were recorded and of those Neville recommended ten for additional research to 

determine their NRHP potential: 042-5325, 042-5326, 042-5347, 042-5353, 042-5362, 042-5370, 

042-5374, 042-5376, 042-5378, and 042-5387. Furthermore, Neville and Pennington 

recommended that the Beaverdam village be studied as a potential district and a Multiple 

Property Documents investigation of rural stores in Hanover County be conducted. 

In 1998, the Virginia Transportation Research Council (VTRC) completed two large-scale bridge 

surveys in the Commonwealth of Virginia: the survey of metal truss bridges and the survey of 

movable span bridges (Miller and Clark 1998a, 1998b). In the 1970s VRTC completed a study 

that focused on pre-1932 metal truss bridges; this late-1990s study “rectifies the lack of 

information on post-1932 metal truss bridges and establishes an historical context for all of 

Virginia’s metal truss bridges” (Miller and Clark 1998a). During the field survey, VRTC 

4
BACKGROUND REVIEW 

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 4-2 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, NDEL Segment 

identified 245 extant metal truss bridges owned by the Virginia Department of Transportation 

(VDOT). Of those, they recommended that 32 are eligible for listing in the NRHP. 

This study of Virginia’s movable span bridges, completed as part of a 1994 Memorandum of 

Agreement (MOA) between VDOT, FHWA, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, and 

DHR, included a field survey of all 20 extant movable span bridges; however only those that 

were over 40 years of age at the time of survey and owned by VDOT were evaluated for NRHP 

for the NRHP (n=11). Following the survey, “out of eleven extant, pre-1960 movable span 

bridges under VDOT ownership or management, none were determined to be eligible for the 

National Register of Historic Places, reflecting the extremely commonplace engineering and 

technology of these structures” (Miller and Clark 1998b). 

One archaeological investigation, led by staff at the Virginia Commonwealth University 

Archaeological Research Center, examined a 14-acre parcel of land at the southeastern end of 

the town of Ashland (McLearen and Binns 1992). This Phase I archaeological survey was 

conducted in advance of the construction of a swimming pool at Carter Park and indicated that 

much of the property had been previously disturbed. At the time of this investigation, an earlytwentieth-century, Craftsman-styled dwelling was also located on the parcel; however, this 

resource has since been demolished (McLearen and Binns 1992). 

4.2 PREVIOUSLY RECORDED CULTURAL RESOURCES 

A total of 453 architectural properties have been previously recorded within 0.5 miles of the 

DC2RVA corridor in the NDEL segment (See table in Appendix A). Roughly 346 of these 453 

resources are residential properties, a majority of which are single-family dwellings. Another 55 

resources have been identified as commercial properties, including various types of stores, gas 

stations, offices, or motels. Seventeen churches and chapels have been previously recorded in 

the vicinity, as have seven farms, six districts, five schools, three stand-alone cemeteries, three 

bridges, three lodges, two railroad corridors, and a handful of resources associated with Civil 

War events in Hanover County. 

Just 26 of these 453 resources (5.7 percent) have been formally evaluated for the NRHP. Two 

have been listed in the Virginia Landmarks Register (VLR) and NRHP, while seven have been 

determined eligible or were found to be potentially eligible for listing by DHR staff. The 

remaining 17 resources were found not eligible for the NRHP under any criteria. The remaining 

resources (n=427, 94.2 percent) were not given a formal NRHP eligibility determination. 

Both VLR- and NRHP-listed resources are located within the NDEL segment APE and have 

been revisited during the current investigation: Ashland Historic District (166-0001) and 

Randolph-Macon College Complex (166-0002). Information about the content of these resources 

is provided in the results section of this report. 

Two of the three previously recorded properties determined eligible for listing in the NRHP by 

DHR staff are also located within the project APE: Doswell Historic District (042-5448) and 

Taylorsville Road Historic District (042-5307). These resources are further detailed in the results 

section of this report. The third NRHP-eligible resource is a circa-1790 dwelling known as 

Montevideo (042-0392) located on Route 641. This Federal-styled, Flemish-bonded, brick house 

was recommended eligible at the local level for its architecture and local associations with 

agriculture following Land & Community’s 1991 survey of Hanover County and the DHR later 

concurred with this recommendation in 1994 (Neville et al. 1992). This resource is not located in

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 4-3 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, NDEL Segment 

the APE of the main line corridor but it is within the APE of the Ashland Bypass—an alternative 

currently under consideration and the subject of a separate cultural resource study. 

Four architectural resources within 0.5-miles of the project corridor have been found to be 

potentially eligible for the NRHP by DHR staff. These properties include two railroad corridors 

historically known as the RF&P (500-0001) and Virginia Central Railroad (007-5513), Civil Warera earthworks at Little River (042-0836), and the North Anna Battlefield (042-0123). Both 

railroad lines are also located within the project APE will be discussed in a separate subsequent 

report produced in association with this undertaking. The Little River Earthworks is also 

located within the NDEL segment project APE and is detailed in the results section of this 

report. Finally, though the North Anna Battlefield is located at the northwestern end of the 

NDEL segment project APE, it is also located in the Milford to North Doswell (MDND) 

segment. As such, this resource was revisited during the survey of the MDND segment and was 

further detailed in the results of the MDND segment report (Manning and Salvato 2016). 
D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 5-1 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, NDEL Segment 

RESULTS 

The architectural investigation of the NDEL segment of the DC2RVA project involved a field 

survey of all above-ground resources over 48 years in age within the Project’s architectural APE. 

Both previously recorded properties and newly recorded resources were included as part of the 

current evaluation to achieve cultural resource compliance. The current survey identified 142 

previously recorded resources and 122 newly recorded resources, for a total of 264 surveyed 

resources. 

In Hanover County, 36 previously recorded resources were surveyed. In the town of Ashland, 

94 previously recorded properties were surveyed within the Ashland Historic District while an 

additional 11 previously recorded resources were identified outside the district boundary. 

Another 37 architectural resources were newly identified in Hanover County, while 86 

additional undocumented resources were surveyed in the town of Ashland during this 

investigation. 

5.1 PREVIOUSLY RECORDED RESOURCES 

This survey identified 142 previously recorded buildings, objects, and districts within the 

architectural APE (Table 5-1, Figures 5-1 through 5-16). Any previously recorded structures, 

such as bridges and railroad features, within the APE will be detailed in a subsequent report. Of 

the 142 previously recorded resources surveyed during this investigation, six have been 

previously listed in or determined potentially eligible/eligible for the NRHP, including one 

Civil-War-era earthworks (042-0836) and five historic districts: Doswell Historic District (042-

5448); Taylorsville Road Historic District (042-5307); Ashland Historic District (166-0001); 

Randolph-Macon College Complex Historic District (166-0002); and the Elmont Historic District 

(042-5048). Additionally, another 11 of the 143 previously recorded properties surveyed during 

this investigation are recommended potentially eligible for listing in the NRHP. 

Six previously recorded resources located within the architectural APE were omitted from this 

survey as they were formally evaluated by DHR staff within the past five years and found to be 

not eligible for individual listing in the NRHP. All six of these ineligible resources are 

contributing elements of the Taylorsville Road Historic District (042-0397, 042-0398, 042-5300, 

042-5301, 042-5160, and 042-5161). 

Table 5-1 lists all 142 previously recorded resources included in the current survey along with 

the Project Team’s eligibility recommendation. Cells highlighted in red denote resources that 

should retain their previous eligibility determination (potentially eligible or eligible for, or listed 

in, the NRHP), while cells highlighted in blue denote resources recommended potentially 

eligible as a part of the current survey.

RESULTS 

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 5-17 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, NDEL Segment 

5.1.1 Resources Recommended Potentially Eligible, Eligible, or Listed in, the NRHP 

Six of the 142 previously recorded resources within the project APE are listed in or have been 

determined potentially eligible/eligible for the NRHP, including one Civil-War-era earthworks 

(042-0836) and five historic districts: Doswell Historic District (042-5448); Taylorsville Road 

Historic District (042-5307); Ashland Historic District (166-0001); Randolph Macon College 

Historic District (166-0002); and the Elmont Historic District (042-5048). Another 11 previously 

recorded properties are recommended potentially eligible for listing in the NRHP as a result of 

this survey. Several of these resources were identified in previous surveys as having the 

potential to be historically significant and in need of further study, but were not formally 

evaluated by the DHR at that time. A brief description of all potentially eligible, eligible, and 

NRHP-listed, previously recorded resources is provided below and presented in geographical 

order from north to south as they are found within the project APE. 

The Doswell Historic District (042-5448) is located in Hanover County at the north end of the 

NDEL segment and highlights a rural crossroads community that grew around the junction of 

two mid-nineteenth-century railroads (the RF&P and what was originally known as the 

Virginia Central and then Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad) and their intersection with Doswell 

Road (Figure 5-17). The community contains a small train depot and HN tower, a few 

commercial buildings, several single-family dwellings, and surrounding farmsteads—many of 

which date to the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. In 1994, this district was 

determined eligible by DHR staff under Criterion A with significance at the local level in 

transportation. This resource was recently surveyed by Dovetail staff in 2008 and recommended 

to remain eligible under Criterion A but it was also identified as potentially eligible under 

Criterion C for its architecture, specifically the early-twentieth-century buildings, many of 

which were constructed by local builder, Daniel Campbell (Barile 2008). As little physical 

change has impacted the district since that time, the DC2RVA Team concurs with the previous 

determination and recommends that the resource remain potentially eligible for the NRHP 

under Criterion A and is potentially eligible under Criterion C.

The Doswell Depot and Tower (042-0093; 042-5466) is located within the Doswell Historic 

District in Hanover County at the north end of the NDEL segment and includes two, circa-1928, 

rail-related buildings: a train station and switch/interlocking tower (Figures 5-18 and 5-19). The 

station and tower were built and jointly operated by the two railroad companies that crossed 

lines at this junction, historically known as the RF&P and the Virginia Central Railroad at the 

time of their construction. Both buildings were designed in the Classical Revival style and 

feature architectural features not seen in other stations or rail-related structures in Hanover

County. This resource was recently surveyed by Dovetail staff in 2008 and recommended 

potentially eligible for individual listing under Criterion C, but was also identified as a 

contributing resource of the Doswell Historic District (Barile 2008). Since 2008, modifications 

have been made to this resource, including the replacement of several windows in the depot 

building; however, these alterations have not substantially altered the historic character or 

diminished the significance of the resource on the whole. Furthermore, this resource may have 

additional significance related to state and local transportation for its association with either of 

the railroad corridors it has historically served. Therefore, the DC2RVA Team recommends this 

property is potentially eligible for individual listing in the NRHP under Criteria A and C. It 

is also recommended a contributing resource of the Doswell Historic District (042-5448). 

The Doswell Inn (042-0468) is located within the Doswell Historic District in Hanover County 

at the north end of the NDEL segment and includes a circa-1870, two-story, four-bay, frame 

dwelling constructed in the Georgian Revival style (Figure 5-19). Said to have been previously 

used as a hotel, this resource is one of the largest and oldest buildings in the community. This 

resource was recently surveyed by Dovetail staff in 2008 and recommended potentially eligible 

for individual listing under Criteria A and C and was also identified as a contributing resource of 

the Doswell Historic District (Barile 2008). Since 2008, no changes appear to have been made to 

this resource. Therefore, the DC2RVA Team recommends this property is potentially eligible 

for individual listing in the NRHP under Criteria A and C. It is also recommended a 

contributing resource of the Doswell Historic District (042-5448).

The Tri-County Bank, Doswell Branch (042-0469) is located within the Doswell Historic 

District in Hanover County at the north end of the NDEL segment and includes a circa-1920, 

two-story, three-bay, vernacular commercial building (Figure 5-20). The bank is the only 

example of commercial masonry architecture in Doswell, but embodies a style seen commonly 

in such structures across the county. This resource was recently surveyed by Dovetail staff in 

2008 and recommended potentially eligible for individual listing under Criterion C, but was 

also identified as a contributing resource of the Doswell Historic District (Barile 2008). Since 

2008, no changes appear to have been made to this resource. Therefore, the DC2RVA Team 

recommends this property is potentially eligible for individual listing in the NRHP under 

Criterion C. It is also recommended a contributing resource of the Doswell Historic District 

(042-5448). 

The Darnell Store (042-0470), also known as Squashapenny Junction, is located within the 

Doswell Historic District in Hanover County at the north end of the NDEL segment and 

includes a circa-1898, vernacular commercial building, barn, battery house, and well (Figure 5-

20). The store was constructed by local builder, Daniel Campbell, and retains a high level of 

historic integrity. This resource was recently surveyed by Dovetail staff in 2008 and 

recommended potentially eligible for individual listing under Criteria B and C, but was also 

identified as a contributing resource of the Doswell Historic District (Barile 2008). This resource 

should also be considered under Criterion A for its significance to local commerce as a small, 

rural, crossroads community store. Since 2008, no changes appear to have been made to this 

resource. Therefore, the DC2RVA Team recommends this property is potentially eligible for 

individual listing in the NRHP under Criteria A, B, and C. It is also recommended a 

contributing resource of the Doswell Historic District (042-5448).

The Earthworks on Little River (042-0836) are located south of Doswell and within the 

Taylorsville Road Historic District near the north end of the NDEL segment. These man-made 

earth-fast structures were constructed during the Civil War to protect railroad bridges over both 

the South Anna and Little Rivers. This resource was last surveyed by Cultural Resource staff at 

VDOT in 2011 and recommended eligible for individual listing under Criteria A and C, but was 

also identified as a contributing resource of the Taylorsville Road Historic District (Clarke 2011). 

Given the recent date of this evaluation and the owner’s request that Dovetail staff avoid 

drawing additional attention to this resource, it was not closely observed during the current 

survey. However, the DC2RVA Team recommends this property remains eligible for 

individual listing in the NRHP under Criteria A and C. It is also recommended to remain a 

contributing resource of the Taylorsville Historic District (042-5307). 

The Taylorsville Historic District (042-5307) highlights an area that has been a village in northcentral Hanover County since the early–nineteenth century and which remains active near the 

north end of the NDEL segment (Figure 5-21). This district contains 17 resources, largely singlefamily dwellings and small farmsteads, but also a church, two bridges, and a Civil War 

earthwork. This area was last surveyed by Cultural Resource staff at VDOT in 2011 and 

recommended eligible for individual listing under Criteria A and C (Clarke 2011). Since 2011, 

few changes appear to have impacted this resource aside from the replacement of one of its 

historic bridges. Therefore, the DC2RVA Team recommends this property remains eligible for 

listing in the NRHP under Criteria A and C. 

The farmstead also known as Dry Bridge (042-0557) is located on Old Ridge Road in northcentral Hanover County in the northern half of the NDEL segment. This property contains a 

frame dwelling that is said to pre-date the Civil War and was once operated as a store by the 

Baker family (Figure 5-22). Last surveyed in 1991, this dwelling was recommended as potentially 

eligible for the NRHP under Criterion C at the local level (Neville et al. 1992). As its 

architectural composition and significance has not changed since 1991, additional study is 

needed prior to NRHP evaluation. Therefore, the DC2RVA Team recommends this property 

remains potentially eligible for individual listing in the NRHP under Criterion C.

The Ashland Historic District (166-0001) highlights the historic core of the town of Ashland, 

Virginia, located west of I-95 and Route 1, in central Hanover County. The town is divided by 

the RF&P railroad tracks and features a mix of residential, commercial, civic, educational, 

religious, and light industrial resources. The district was nominated to the NRHP in 1982 and 

was listed in February 1983 (VHLC 1982) (Figure 5-23). Significant historic themes identified in 

its nomination included architecture, commerce, education, government, religion, 

transportation, residential and community development. At this time, few changes appear to 

have substantially impacted the built environment within the district. Therefore, the DC2RVA 

Team recommends that the Ashland Historic District remains listed in the NRHP under 

Criteria A and C. 

The Ashland Station Depot (166-0001-0008) is located at the center of the historic town of 

Ashland. Said to have been designed by W. P. Lee and overseen by Richmond architect Aubrey 

Hunt in 1923, this depot replaced a previous circa-1890 station that had burned (Amtrak 2016; 

The Railway Review 1922) (Figure 5-24). Constructed for the RF&P Railroad, it is a good 

example of a Colonial Revival-styled depot from this period and retains a high level of historic 

integrity. Therefore, the DC2RVA Team recommends this resource potentially eligible for 

individual listing in the NRHP under Criteria A and C. It is also recommended to remain a 

contributing resource of the Ashland Historic District (166-0001).

The resource historically known as the Blackwell House, now the Business Office at 310 N 

Center Street (166-0001-0015), faces east towards the RF&P railroad within the historic core of 

Ashland (Figure 5-25). It is not known if this house was designed by an architect, but it is an 

elaborate and outstanding example of Queen Anne-styled architecture with Eastlake elements 

in this historic community (VHLC 1982). Therefore, the DC2RVA Team recommends this 

property to be potentially eligible for individually listing in the NRHP under Criterion C at 

the local level. It is also recommended to remain a contributing resource of the Ashland 

Historic District (166-0001).

The Randolph-Macon College Complex Historic District (166-0002) highlights just a few of the 

oldest buildings at the core of this college campus, located in the historic town of Ashland. 

Three, late-nineteenth-century buildings were initially included in the district and two other 

early-twentieth-century buildings have since been surveyed in association with the original 

historic core (Figure 5-26). These resources and the district retain a high level of historic 

integrity and possess the same architectural characteristics that merited listing in the NRHP in 

1979 under Criteria A and C (VHLC 1978). Therefore, the DC2RVA Team recommends that the 

Randolph-Macon College Complex Historic District remains listed in the NRHP under Criteria 

A and C. Much of the 8-acre Randolph-Macon Campus as it exists today is also located within 

the Ashland Historic District (166-0001).

The resource historically known as the Emily Gray House or the House at 702 S. Center Street 

(166-0001-0055) is located on the west side of the RF&P railroad in the historic town of Ashland 

(Figure 5-27). Constructed in the mid-nineteenth century, circa 1850, this is an outstanding 

example of Second Empire-styled architecture in this historic community and is the most intact 

of just two examples of this style of building in town (VHLC 1982). Therefore, the DC2RVA 

Team recommends this property to be potentially eligible for individually listing in the 

NRHP under Criterion C at the local level. It is also recommended to remain a contributing 

resource of the Ashland Historic District (166-0001). 

The House at 708 S. Center Street (166-0001-0060) is located on the west side of the RF&P 

railroad in Ashland and was historically known as the Fleming Fox House (Figure 5-28). 

Constructed in the late-nineteenth century, circa 1894, it is not known if this house was 

designed by an architect, but it the most intact example of a Colonial Revival-styled dwelling 

with Free Classic elements in this historic community (VHLC 1982). Therefore, the DC2RVA 

Team recommends this property to be potentially eligible for individually listing in the

circa 1858 for RF&P Treasurer, Waldro MacMurdo, this is an outstanding example of Greek 

Revival architecture in this historic community and is the most intact of just two examples of 

this style of building in town (VHLC 1982). Therefore, the DC2RVA Team recommends this

property to be potentially eligible for individually listing in the NRHP under Criteria B and 

C at the local level. It is also recommended to remain a contributing resource of the Ashland 

Historic District (166-0001). 

The resource historically known as the Hugo House at 904 S. Center Street (166-0037; 166-0001-

0073) is located on the west side of the RF&P railroad in the historic town of Ashland (Figure 5-

30). Constructed circa 1886, this house is an elaborate example of the high Queen Anne style 

and is said to have been designed by an architect (though the name remains unknown at this 

time) in the community (VHLC 1982). Therefore, the DC2RVA Team recommends this property 

to be potentially eligible for individually listing in the NRHP under Criterion C at the local 

level. It is also recommended to remain a contributing resource of the Ashland Historic 

District (166-0001).

The House at 1005 S. Center Street (166-0001-0077) is located on the east side of the RF&P 

railroad in the historic town of Ashland (Figure 5-31). Constructed around 1890, it is not known 

if an architect is behind the design of this house, but it possess characteristics of Queen Anne 

while its form suggests an earlier construction date. Further, the spatial organization of the 

building and its lot reflects more of a rural setting like that attributed to the town during its 

time as a mid- to late-nineteenth-century resort community. Therefore, the DC2RVA Team 

recommends this property to be potentially eligible for individually listing in the NRHP 

under Criterion C at the local level. It is also recommended to remain a contributing resource 

of the Ashland Historic District (166-0001). 

The Judge Gwathmey House (042-0113) is located just south of the Town of Ashland in a rural 

crossroads community known as Gwathmey. This resource consists of an elaborate example of 

Queen Anne-style architecture constructed in the late-nineteenth century (Figure 5-31). Last 

surveyed in 1991, this dwelling was recommended as potentially eligible for the NRHP (Neville 

et al. 1992). As its architectural composition and significance has not changed since 1991, it 

should continue to be considered potentially eligible for its architecture as well as association 

with Judge Gwathmey, though further study of the significance of his life and career to 

determine its eligibility. Therefore, the DC2RVA Team recommends this property remains 

potentially eligible for individual listing in the NRHP under Criteria B and C. 

The Sinton House (042-0420) is located just south of the Town of Ashland in a rural crossroads 

community known as Gwathmey. This property contains a Queen Anne-styled frame dwelling 

constructed around 1890 as well as five secondary resource, one of which is contemporary to the 

house (Figure 5-31). This resource is a good example of rural, vernacular, Queen Anne style 

which can be seen through the use of Victorian detailing, such as the door surround, brackets, 

and turned posts, on a common dwelling form. Therefore, the DC2RVA Team recommends this 

property remains potentially eligible for individual listing in the NRHP under Criterion C.

The Elmont Historic District (042-5048) highlights an area that has been a village in Hanover 

County since the early-nineteenth century and has remained active to present day near the 

south end of the NDEL segment (Figure 5-31). As one of several rural villages along the RF&P 

railroad in Hanover County, this district contains roughly a dozen or more properties consisting 

largely of residential and historically agricultural properties along with a handful of commercial 

and religious properties. Surveyed in 2015, the Elmont Historic District was recommended 

eligible for the NRHP, but was not further documented to ascertain under which Criteria or to 

prescribe proposed boundaries (Taylor et al. 2016). In a letter responding to the the 2015 survey, 

the DHR confirmed that the Elmont Historic District was potentially eligible for the NRHP under 

Criteria A and C with the boundaries previously proposed in an incomplete Preliminary Information For 

(PIF). As the district retains the characteristics and historic resources documented during this previous 

investigation, the DC2RVA Team recommends this property remains potentially eligible for 

listing in the NRHP under Criteria A and C.

5.1.2 Resources Recommended Not Eligible for the NRHP 

Of the 142 previously recorded properties, 122 are recommended not eligible for individual 

listing in the NRHP as a result of this investigation. Of these 122 properties, 81 resources were 

found to be contributing elements to at one of the previously recorded historic districts that are 

potentially eligible, eligible, or listed. Looking more closely at the 81 contributing resources, 71 

of them are located within the Ashland Historic District (166-0001) and embody a range of 

domestic, commercial, educational, and civic resources. Another six of the 81 contributing 

resources located within the project APE are situated in the Doswell Historic District (042-5448), 

while the remaining three are believed to contribute to the Elmont Historic District (042-5048). 

One previously recorded property is recommended as a contributing resource to a newly 

recorded historic district (166-0025). 

Forty-one of the 122 previously recorded properties recommended not eligible as a result of this 

survey are not associated with one of the previously recorded historic districts or have been 

identified as non-contributing resources to these districts. These 41 properties do not possess 

sufficient historic significance or integrity to merit listing in the NRHP. Furthermore, many of 

the previously recorded properties found to be non-contributing resources to one of the historic 

districts identified within the project APE are less than 48 years in age and do not meet any of 

the NRHP criteria, including criterion considerations A–G.

5.2 NEWLY RECORDED RESOURCES 

Of the 264 above-ground resources recorded in the architectural APE of the NDEL segment 

during the current project, the DC2RVA Project Team documented 122 newly recorded 

resources (Table 5-2; Figures 5-32 through 5-44). Of the 122 newly recorded properties, 36 are 

located in Hanover County and another 86 are located in the town of Ashland. None of the 36 

newly identified architecture resources in Hanover County were found to meet NRHP Criteria 

for individual listing; however, four of the 86 properties surveyed in Ashland are recommended 

potentially eligible for the NRHP as a result of this investigation.

RESULTS 

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 5-47 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, NDEL Segment 

5.2.1 Resources Recommended Potentially Eligible for the NRHP 

The four newly recorded resources being recommended potentially eligible in the NDEL 

segment APE include two historic districts highlighting an African American neighborhood in 

Ashland known as Berkleytown (166-5073) and an expansion of Randolph-Macon College 

campus (166-5072) as well as one single-family dwelling (Priddy House, 107 Stebbins Street 

[166-5041]) and a mixed-use building that began as a small business operated out of a house 

(Dabney Funeral Home, 600 B Street [166-5073-0010]). A brief description of these resources is 

provided below and presented in geographical order from north to south as they are found 

within the project APE. 

Berkleytown Historic District (166-5073) is a predominantly residential area situated north of 

downtown Ashland, north of Randolph-Macon College, and east of the railroad tracks (Figure 

5-45). It has been traditionally occupied by the African American community for much of the 

twentieth century and into the twenty first (Proquest, LLC and the Sanborn Map Company 

2001). Roughly 17 dwellings from this neighborhood are located in the project APE, though it 

also includes a number of houses on Henry Street and John M. Gandy public school. Typical of 

many small-town, twentieth-century, African American neighborhoods, the area was 

historically isolated from the downtown core and is dotted by small vernacular early- and midtwentieth-century dwellings. Though houses in the area have varying levels of historic integrity 

and a few new houses have been constructed to infill several open lots in the district, this 

traditional neighborhood is recommended potentially eligible for the NRHP under Criterion 

A for its association with important trends in community planning and design. 

The Dabney Family Funeral Home at 600 B Street (166-5073-0010) is a circa-1955, one-story, 

multi-bay, masonry, Minimal Traditional-styled dwelling that has continually served as a both a 

residence and family-owned funeral home (Figure 5-46). Its design builds upon that of a 

vernacular single-family dwelling and has grown over time to serve the various needs of a 

small, African American, family-owned, funeral home and remains in business today. 

Vernacular patterns of growth are seen in the addition of a small chapel building and other 

modifications that reflect changes in technology and social/ religious customs. As one of few 

traditional African American owned businesses in town and in the Berkleytown neighborhood, 

the DC2RVA Team recommends this property to be potentially eligible for listing in the 

NRHP under Criterion A at the local level for its association with African American-led 

trends in commerce. Furthermore, this property is located within the Berkleytown Historic 

District (166-5073) and believed to be a contributing resource in this traditionally African 

American neighborhood. 

The Randolph-Macon College Historic District Expansion (166-5072) encompasses a number 

of buildings constructed between the early-twentieth to mid-twentieth century though only a 

portion of these resources fall within the current project APE. These buildings include Moreland 

(166-5072-0001) and Conrad Halls (166-5072-0002), Mary Branch Hall (166-0001-0239), Peal Hall 

(166-0001-0238), Lambert Hall (166-5072-0003) and Crenshaw Gymnasium (166-5072-0004) with 

architectural styles ranging from Georgian Revival to New Formalism (Randolph-Macon 

College 2016) (Figure 5-47). These buildings remain in good condition and retain a relatively 

high- level of historic integrity, while reflecting a number of building booms and trends in 

architectural design and planning on campus. Therefore, the DC2RVA Team recommends this 

district potentially eligible for the NRHP under Criteria A and C.

The Priddy House at 107 Stebbins Street (166-5041) is a circa-1926, one-and-one-half-story, 

Craftsman-style, single-family dwelling (Figure 5-48). According to the current owner, a

descendant of the Priddy family that built the house, its masonry structural system features 

coursed, manufactured, textured, and colored concrete blocks—what the owner called 

“cobblestone” blocks—that are seen in just a few other buildings in town. Minor modifications 

have been regulated to the rear where a narrow two-bay, back porch may have been partially 

enclosed and screened, and is now clad in vinyl siding. This alteration appears reversible and 

has not substantially impacted the historic integrity of this resource. Therefore, the DC2RVA 

Team recommends this property to be potentially eligible for listing in the NRHP under 

Criterion C as an outstanding example of a Craftsman-style dwelling at the local level.

5.2.2 Resources Recommended Not Eligible for the NRHP 

The remaining 118 total newly recorded resources surveyed comprise 100 residential properties, 

seven commercial buildings, five industrial properties or warehouses, four collegiate buildings 

associated with the Randolph-Macon College complex expansion, one civic building, and one 

ruins site. The 100 residential properties consist primarily of single-family dwellings 

constructed between 1900 and 1968 in vernacular forms with Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, 

Craftsman, Minimal Traditional, and Ranch architectural elements. A few of these residential 

resources are part of farmsteads located in Hanover County, while another is a mid-twentiethcentury apartment complex situated in downtown Ashland. Two, small, detached garages in 

Ashland, currently standing on distinct and separate parcels of land, were also included in this 

category as residential resources. 

The seven commercial buildings and five industrial buildings were constructed between 1900 

and 1960, often in rectilinear forms with vernacular architectural elements. A majority of these 

commercial and industrial resources date to the 1950s and 60s (n=9). Five of these commercial 

buildings are located in the town of Ashland, including the one resource dating from 1900. The 

four buildings surveyed as part of an expanded Randolph-Macon College included two large 

residential dormitories, one fraternity house, and a sizable gymnasium (166-5072-0001 through -

0004). One civic building, the Ashland Town Hall (166-5034), constructed circa 1955, and one 

site identified as the Carter Family Farmstead ruins (043-5738) containing two brick chimney 
RESULTS 

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 5-50 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, NDEL Segment 

stacks and a number of poured-concrete foundations dating from the first decades of the 

twentieth century were also recorded. 

Most of these 118 newly recorded properties have lost historic integrity in their design, 

materials, and association as a result of replacement materials or moderate to heavy 

modifications over time. Furthermore, none of these resources appear to be the work of a 

master nor are they outstanding examples of a particularly architectural style or property type. 

For these reasons, they are recommended not eligible for individual listing in the NRHP under 

Criterion C. At this time, these resources are not known to have strong associations with 

significant events or individuals in the past. Therefore, they are also recommended not eligible 

for the NRHP under Criteria A and B. As architectural resources, these properties were not 

evaluated under Criterion D. In sum, these 118 newly recorded resources are recommended not 

eligible for individual listing in the NRHP under Criteria A–C. However, 25 of these 

resources were found to be contributing elements to at least one of the potentially eligible, 

eligible, or NRHP-listed historic districts in the project APE. 
D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 6-1 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, NDEL Segment 

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS 

The DC2RVA Project Team conducted a reconnaissance-level architectural survey of the NDEL 

segment of the DC2RVA corridor. The DC2RVA project is being completed under the auspices 

of the FRA in conjunction with the DRPT. Because of FRA’s involvement, the undertaking is 

required to comply with the NEPA and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 

1966, as amended. The Project is being completed as DHR File Review #2014-0666. 

In total, the DC2RVA Project Team surveyed 264 historic architectural resources within the 

architectural APE within the NDEL segment, 142 of which were previously recorded and 122 

were newly recorded historic resources (Table 6-1). Of the 142 previously recorded properties, 

six are individually listed in the NRHP or have been previously determined eligible or 

potentially for listing by DHR Staff, including one Civil-War-era earthworks (042-0836) and 

five historic districts: Ashland Historic District (166-0001); Doswell Historic District (042-5448); 

Randolph Macon College Complex Historic District (166-0002); Elmont Historic District (042-

5048); and the Taylorsville Road Historic District (042-5307). Another 14 previously recorded 

resources are recommended potentially eligible for individual listing in the NRHP. 

The remaining 122 previously recorded resources are recommended not eligible for 

individual listing in the NRHP under any criteria; however, the DC2RVA Team recommends 

that 81 of these are contributing resources to one of the five previously recorded historic 

districts. Another 41 of these 122 properties are either not associated with a historic district or 

were found to be non-contributing resources, while one previously recorded property is 

recommended as contributing element of a newly recorded historic district (166-0025). 

Of the 122 newly recorded resources, four resources (166-5401, 166-5072, 166-5073, and 166-

5073-0010), are recommended as potentially eligible for listing in the NRHP. Twenty-five 

newly recorded properties are recommended as not individually eligible but contribute to the 

eligibility of at least one of the potentially eligible, eligible, or NRHP-listed historic districts 

in the project APE. The remaining 93 newly recorded resources are recommended not 

individually eligible for listing in the NRHP under any criteria. 

The historic architectural resources identified within the town of Ashland during this 

investigation—both previously and newly recorded properties requiring additional study-- are 

further depicted in a map presented in Appendix B.

RE: Revised Resource Eligibility/ Segment 13 (North Doswell to Elmont) 

 Southeast High Speed Rail Project, Washington, D.C. to Richmond Segment 

 DHR #2014-0666 

Dear Marc, 

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation 

(DRPT) are continuing environmental studies associated with the Tier II Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS) for the Washington, D.C. to Richmond segment of the Southeast High Speed Rail (DC2RVA) corridor 

(Project). The limits of the Project extend from Control Point RO (MP CFP-110) in Arlington south to the 

CSX Transportation (“CSXT”) A-Line/CSXT-S-Line junction at MP A-11 in Centralia, Virginia (Chesterfield 

County), a distance of approximately 123 miles. 

This project is receiving federal funding through the FRA, requires permits issued by federal agencies 

such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and will traverse federal land including parcels owned by the 

U.S. Marine Corps and the National Park Service, among others. Due to the involvement of these and 

several other federal entities, the undertaking requires compliance with the National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA) and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), as amended. The 

FRA sent your office a project Initiation letter on December 11, 2014, formally commencing the Section 

106 process, and the project’s Area of Potential Effects (APE) was approved by the State Historic 

Preservation Officer (SHPO) on February 2, 2015, as required by 36 CFR 800.4(a)(1). 

We are writing today to coordinate architectural identification studies within Segment 13/ North 

Doswell to Elmont (NDEL) of the larger Project initiative. Segment 13/NDEL includes the span between 

just north of Doswell Road on the north and Elmont Road on the south in Hanover County. Enclosed 

please find two hard copies and one electronic copy of the report entitled Architectural Reconnaissance 

Survey for the Washington, D.C. to Richmond, Virginia High Speed Rail Project, North Doswell to Elmont 

(NDEL) Segment, Hanover County. The report was authored by Danae Peckler with Dovetail Cultural 

Resource Group (Dovetail), a member of the DC2RVA Project Team. The report meets all standards set

forth in both the Secretary of Interior’s Standards and Guidelines (1983) and the Virginia Department of 

Historic Resource’s (DHR) Guidelines for Preparing Identification and Evaluation Reports (2011). 

In total, the DC2RVA Project Team surveyed 264 architectural resources within the architectural APE 

within the NDEL segment (see attached Table for a full roster of these resources). Of these, 142 were 

previously recorded and 122 were newly recorded as part of this project. Six resources are listed in, or 

have been determined eligible/potentially eligible for, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), 

including one set of Civil-War-era earthworks (042-0836) and five historic districts: Ashland Historic 

District (166-0001); Randolph-Macon College Complex Historic District (166-0002); Elmont Historic 

District (042-5048); Taylorsville Road Historic District (042-5307); and Doswell Historic District (042-

5448). It is recommended that these resources retain their eligibility status. 

Fourteen previously recorded resources are recommended potentially eligible for the NRHP following 

this survey. Four are in Doswell, and they are recommended both individually eligible and as 

contributing elements to the Doswell Historic District: Doswell Depot and Switch Tower, 10577 Doswell 

Road (042-0093; 042-5466), the Doswell Inn, 10567 Doswell Road (042-0468), Tri-County Bank, Doswell 

branch, 10561 Doswell Road (042-0469), and Darnell Store (Squashapenny Junction), 10570 Doswell 

Road (042-0470). Seven are in Ashland and are recommended both individually potentially eligible and 

as contributing elements to the Ashland Historic District: Ashland Station Depot, 112 N. Railroad Avenue 

(166-0001-0008), Business Office, Randolph-Macon (Blackwell House), 310 N. Center Street (166-0001-

0015), House, 702 S. Center Street (166-0001-0055), House, 708 S. Center Street (166-0001-0060), 

House, 1005 S. Center Street (166-0001-0077), MacMurdo House, 713 S. Center Street (166-0036; 166-

0001-0063), and Hugo House , 904 S. Center Street (166-0037; 166-0001-0073). The final three 

resources, Judge Gwathmey House (042-0113), Sinton House (042-0420), and Dry Bridge at 10411 Old 

Ridge Road (042-0557), are not within a historic district and are recommended individually eligible for 

the NRHP. 

Four newly recorded resources are also recommended potentially eligible for the NRHP based on this 

study. They include the Priddy House, 107 Stebbins Street (166-5041), Randolph-Macon College Historic 

District Expansion (166-5072), the Berkleytown Historic District (166-5073), and Dabney Funeral Home 

(166-5073-0010). 

The remaining 240 properties recorded as part of this survey are recommended not eligible for the 

NRHP as individual properties. Half of these 240 properties (n=120) are recommended as contributing 

elements to their surrounding historic districts. These include the Elmont Historic District, Doswell 

Historic District, Ashland Historic District, Berkleytown Historic District, and Randolph-Macon Expanded 

Historic District. A breakdown of these resources can be found in the attached table and following 

concurrence pages.

801 E. Main Street, Suite 1000

Richmond, VA 23219

Six previously recorded resources located within the architectural APE were omitted from this survey as 

they were formally evaluated by DHR staff within the past five years and found to be not eligible for 

individual listing in the NRHP. All six of these ineligible resources are contributing elements of the 

Taylorsville Road Historic District (042-0397, 042-0398, 042-5300, 042-5301, 042-5160, and 042-5161). 

We invite your agency to concur with these recommendations within 30 days of receipt of this letter. If 

you have questions about historic property studies for this project, please do not hesitate to contact me 

or Heather Staton at (540) 899-9170 or via email at kbarile@dovetailcrg.com/hstaton@dovetailcrg.com.
